An airport has runways only 198 m long. a small plane must reach a ground speed of 39 m/s before it can become airborne. what average acceleration must the plane's engines provide if it is to take off safely from its airport? answer in units of m/s 2 .

S: 198 m 
v=39 m/s 
u=0
t=? 
a=?

v²=u²+2as
(39)²=(0)²+2(a)(198) 
1521=396a
1521/396=a
3.84 m/s^2 = a 

Hope I helped :) 

Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. it was the first planet to get its existence predicted by  mathematical calculations  before it was actually seen through a telescope on sept. 23, 1846. irregularities in the orbit of  uranus  led french astronomer alexis bouvard to suggest that the gravitational pull from another celestial body might be responsible. german astronomer johann galle then relied on subsequent calculations to   spot neptune via telescope. previously, astronomer galileo galilei sketched the planet, but he mistook it for a star due to its slow motion. in accordance with all the other planets seen in the sky, this new world was given a name from greek and roman mythology — neptune, the roman god of the sea.
